Fall Move In
We will be adjusting our move-in schedule and procedures to help reduce crowding and promote physical distancing. Additional health screening and/or isolation/quarantine protocols may be required. We may also implement an earlier than typical move-in process, to allow for staggering. While we are still finalizing the plan with health authorities and the UCLA COVID-19 Future Planning Task Force, students and families should prepare for the following move-in mitigations:
- Undergraduate Move In to occur the week of September 21, 2020
- All students will be tested for COVID-19 prior to receiving their key
- Students will have specific times to be tested and move in to their undergraduate assignments
- No family or friends will be allowed inside the building to assist students moving in
- Immediately upon move in, students will be asked to isolate in their units until their test results are returned. Once test results come back, and are negative, students will be asked to quarantine within a smaller group on their floors and houses for a period up to 9 days, or until a second COVID test is administered with a negative result. During these times, meals will be scheduled and eaten within smaller communities. If a test result comes back positive, students will be isolated for 14 days in an isolation unit. Meals will be provided.
- Housing & Residential Life team members will be present to assist students through the entire process
Thanksgiving and Winter Breaks
Housing will work with local health authorities and the UCLA COVID-19 Future Planning Task Force throughout the academic year to monitor health trends. Leading up to the Thanksgiving break, housing will communicate with all students residing in undergraduate housing about the most current plans and options. However, with the campus moving to offer nearly all remote learning after Thanksgiving, students will have the option to completely move out of their university-owned housing and cancel their housing contract. Students who choose to move out completely will have the option to renew their contract for the start of Winter Quarter.
Students who choose to remain in university-owned housing after Thanksgiving should plan to completely move out of their units at the conclusion of fall quarter. Because of the unpredictable nature of responding to COVID-19, we are asking students remove all belongings by December 18, 2020. Housing will still offer Winter Break stay-throughs for students who are in need of housing during the closure. We will continue to monitor, and are currently planning to welcome students back to their units on January 3, 2021.
